Ok now we have something, all the errors that I had have gone the lan ports I thought might be it are it? I changed the router for the TalkTalk one supplied and used as WIFI for a few days no problems then connected the ethernet and have not had one chromium crash since. So new router ordered...
Ok No luck try all weekend but the lan still crashes edge chrome etc, on wifi i have not had a crash for at least a day.
I was thinking of buying a pcie ethernet network card and try to see if it is an onboard issue. This is not going well i purchased a I7 PC back about 6 years no trouble at all...
The Router is a Billion BiPAC 8800NL R2. the ewan port as i understand is can be used for lan or modem port with the old i7 i always used the ewan port that saying it might be something to do with the chips. have just tried this for the moment so fingers crossed.
I will try this thanks, but i don't think it is the graphics card now, when i was testing it in another room the only monitor i could use was a tv so the 1long and 3 short beeps only happened when the tv was not turned on, if i turned the tv on first then started the pc it was just 1 short beep...
Ok with thanks to you all I think I am getting somewhere I did what was suggested and removed the GPU I also unplugged the Ethernet cable, leaving just the wireless card that I know is ok and a bare OS and onboard graphics.
I did not have a fail for 2 days so I figured it must be the GPU, then I...
I did all that before, can i move the graphics card to the other pcie slot the black one not the white one to see if it is the slot on the mainboard. having said all that it has been as good as gold since the reboot.
thanks
This morning when i started the pc it gave 1 long beep then 3 short ones then rebooted, then started fine i found out it could be a gpu problem or pcie slot. but it has not broken chromium browsers as they start fine. any ideas please.
I did that a couple of weeks ago, no joy. but i am doing it again now on this clean install. could i try and remove gpu and use onboard graphics to test? thanks
Thanks again but any more ideas how to make it fail i thought at one time it was the wireless card so i removed it left it out and it still did it could it be the ethernet on the mainboard? i really am at a loss
